Islamic Reminders

Saturday 5th July is the Day of ʿĀshūrāʾ. The Prophet ﷺ said: "I seek from Allāh that fasting on the day of ʿĀshūrāʾ may atone for the sins of the preceding year." [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1163a]

Narrated ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever slaps his face or tears the bosom of his dress, or calls the calls of the Period of Ignorance, is not from us." [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 3519]

Israeli occupation forces killed three men on Wednesday after intervening to protect occupiers during a violent assault on a Palestinian town near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. The incident began at around 7pm when over 50 Israeli occupiers descended on Kafr Malik, east of Ramallah. They set fire to parts of three homes and completely torched four vehicles. As residents gathered to confront the attackers, the occupation forces stormed the town and began firing live ammunition. Three men were killed and at least seven others were wounded. In a separate incident, a 15-year-old boy was killed by the Israeli occupation forces in the northern West Bank town of Al-Yamoun amid a surge of violence and near-daily confrontations between occupiers and Palestinians.

O Allāh, in this sacred month of Muḥarram, just as You saved Mūsa عليه السلام and his people from tyranny, save our oppressed brothers and sisters around the world. Ya Rabb, You are the Protector of the weak, the Helper of the broken, and the Answerer of the desperate—grant victory to the oppressed in Palestine, Sudan, Kashmir, Yemen, and every land where justice is denied. Let the lessons of Mūsa عليه السلام teach us courage, and the patience of the oppressed teach us humility. Do not let us be silent in the face of injustice. Let our hearts remain firm upon truth, and our hands be used to bring relief. Ameen.

On 18th June, a 55-year-old mother of five was violently attacked on a New York subway after she was asked, "Are you Muslim?" while she was wearing the hijab and listening to the Qurʾān. The man then began to punch and kick her repeatedly, hitting her in the head, neck, and face. The assault only stopped when the train reached the next station, and bystanders, along with the conductor, called the police. The Muslim woman suffered a fractured nasal bone, a fractured orbital bone, and substantial pain, bruising, and swelling. The suspect fled, but two women and the conductor helped flag him down for the police. Officers arrested 34-year-old Naved Durni and charged him with hate crime assault.

Today marks the 1st of Muḥarram, which means it is the beginning of the new Islamic year. The start of the Islamic calendar was set by ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه, who based the first year when the Prophet ﷺ migrated (made Hijrah) from Makkah to Madīnah. It is now 1447 years since the Prophet ﷺ's migration to Madīnah, however the date of the Hijrah is not linked with the 1st of Muḥarram. Al-Muḥarram [ٱلْمُحَرَّم] means forbidden, it is one of the months when fighting is forbidden. Narrated Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, “The most excellent fast after Ramaḍān is Allāhs month, al-Muḥarram, and the most excellent prayer after what is prescribed is prayer during the night.” [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1163a]
